Suppress an alert for who? Host2? If host2's parent is up and you've
specified that you want to receive host down notifications for host2,
you'll receive an alert. If host2's parent is down and you've specified
that you want to receive host unreachable notifications, you'll receive
an unreachable notification for host2, but not a down notification (it's
unreachable, not down). If you don't care for either, don't specify
them.
